My wife (who is devout) even finds this sort of thing to be off-putting.<br /><br />On the Church website today, there is a section on the front page asking "How Has The Savior Influence Your Life?" The image above the link, and featured VERY prominently in the article, is one of President Nelson and his wife.<br /><br />Go figure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-12742438628381501232019-09-07T12:08:27.395-07:002019-09-07T12:08:27.395-07:00Frankly, the idea of a "Gala" for a supp...Frankly, the idea of a "Gala" for a supposed "humble servant of God" is completely out of place, and wrong for someone holding the office.<br /><br />I guess I'm not terribly surprised, however. It seems that Nelson really likes having attention heaped upon himself. He's done nothing to date that I can see as having been "inspired". Just things that bring attention to himself.

Earlier this year, the church's First Presidency rescinded rules that banned baptisms for children of gay parents and branded same-sex couples apostates subject to excommunication." <br /><br />That paragraph almost implies a bit of heroism for rescinding a policy that offended and caused no small amount of backlash. However that paragraph fails to mention is it was actually and interestingly none other than President Nelson who so strongly taught in a worldwide broadcast that the policy was actually from God, witnessed by all the other members of the 12. ("Becoming True Millennials" talk given in Hawaii) <br /><br />I'm confused, President Nelson is a "transformative" prophet for rescinding what HE so very strongly said was from God? Raises a number of concerns about what kind of transformation is occurring. <br /><br />Weird, to say the least. <br />Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18157207426274845984noreply@blogger.com
